My guess for 'everybody will be talking' is that the Shield will attack Rock and it will be revealed that Heyman hired them without Punk's knowledge. Ho hum.

Possibly, would also allow them to split up Punk and Heyman for the return of Brock. As it seems inevitable they won't go with the a Brock/Punk/Heyman stable (which would be UNREAL if it happened!! ) Nah instead they'll fuck things up!

In now way do I see Ryback becoming WWE champion. There is no way that the WWE is going to take the guy they are grooming as their next big face currently and put him in his first WWE title feud with The Rock.

Honestly, I think Punk won't even be in the match as WWE officials won't "clear him" for the match and it will be Ryback/Heyman, The Sheild will come out to save Heyman leading to Ryback/Rock cleaning out The Shield, maybe leading to the end with Pujnk giving Rock another GTS, ooooo what contraversy

For what it's worth regarding the January 7th episode, it's said that when the show is over, "people will be talking."

The Rock is behind the Shield. He has them protecting Punk and the title because Rock wants to beat Punk's ass for the title.

Ryback vs Punk is in it's final minutes - Ryback taking control and The Shield hits the ring and take out Ryback. Only this time Punk takes part in the beat down and they really do a number on Ryback. Cena was found knocked out backstage earlier in the show to explain why he doesn't make the save. After a 3-4 minute brutal beatdown The Rock heads to the ring to make the save. However once in the ring he's facing down The Shield and Punk when he gives the eyebrow raise and The Shield turns and starts mauling Punk, as Rock then joins in on the beatdown and hits the Rock Bottom on Punk as we fade to black.
